An emergency protection order requested by a foreign exchange student attending Anderson County High School was granted after the girl’s host parent was charged with intimidating a witness in a legal process, court documents show.

The Anderson County High School bookkeeper who was fired last year was indicted last Tuesday for allegedly embezzling more than $12,000 from the school, according to documents on file in Anderson Circuit Court.

Two Anderson County Middle School students were arrested Tuesday in the latest shooting threats to hit Anderson County school.

The girls, ages 12 and 13, were each charged with second-degree terroristic threatening after leaving notes in a school bathroom. The 12-year-old allegedly wrote "she had a gun" and was going to "shoot everybody" on a bathroom wall, sparking a soft lockdown of the school while police investigated.

Following a rash of school shooting threats that have resulted in charges against seven students, the Anderson County Board of Education revealed Monday night that it has already ordered metal detector wands for use in the schools.

My friend DC likes guns. DC is a good guy, a hard worker, a family man who spends a lot of time with his kids; he is calm and measured of character; he is that thoughtful neighbor you call with any kind of emergency, the guy who would do anything for you. DC is a responsible hunter, a good shot. I trust DC with guns.

A 10-year-old female student at Emma B. Ward Elementary School was charged today for posting a shooting threat on a social media site, Sheriff Joe Milam confirmed.

The child was charged with second-degree terroristic threatening and harrassing communications.

Milam said the child allegedly posted the threat on a social media account last night, outside of school. He said other students saw the post and alerted school staff this afternoon, which prompted an investigation and immediately identified the student.
